PRIME was implemented from 10/2020 until 08/2025. It was extended due to impacts of force majeure, mainly the COVID-19 pandemic and global geopolitical situation.
1. The project was successfully concluded despite challenges posed by force majeure. 14 early-stage researchers (ESRs) finished their 3-year MSCA fellowship and 8 of them were awarded a PhD until October 2025.
2. The project hired 15 ESRs hired in an open, transparent, impartial and equitable recruitment process. A semi-centralized recruitment process was used to increase hiring effectiveness.
3. The training of ESRs was conducted by experts from the consortium as well as invited external experts. In the beginning of the project, the training coordinator collected training needs from the ESRs. The content of the training was consulted with the fellows during the whole project. The following network-wide trainings took place:
- 12/2020 – Kick-off meeting
- 05/2021 or 01/2022 - MSCA administrative training for all ESRs
- 07/2021 – post-EGSR PRIME training
- 12/2021 - midterm review and first network training
- 07/2022 – post-EGSR PRIME training
- 10/2022 – second network training
- 03/2023 - third network training
- 09/2023 - fourth network training
- 09/2024 - final network training
In addition to these network meetings, PRIME held several remote meetings to discuss project progress.
A reading group was organized by the ESRs from 02/2021 until 12/2023. The sessions provided our ESRs with opportunities for peer-to-peer training, offered interaction with leading experts and the acquisition of new professional expertise.
4. The research outcomes advanced the state-of-art in our area, and were published at top venues (e.g. SIGGRAPH, SIGGRAPH Asia, EGSR, CVPR…) and journals in the field (ACM Transactions on Graphics, Computer Graphics Forum). As of 10/2025, 67 publications were published within the project, 40 of them were co-authored by ESRs, mostly first-authors.
5. Partner organisations actively participated in the project. Secondments were implemented from 2022 until 2025. As a result of collaborations, 17 joint publications have been published, 12 of them are intersectoral, i.e. collaboration of an academic institution and industry.
6. PRIME’s outreach
- the project website:
http://prime-itn.eu(odnośnik otworzy się w nowym oknie)- social media – a Twitter account ( https://twitter.com/ItnPrime ) and a PRIME YouTube channel with a video introducing the project to the general public
The project was presented through various means - press releases, local media appearances, presentations at fairs, participation at European Researcher’s Night, dedicated websites presenting the publications.
A key outreach highlight towards the expert community was PRIME’s participation in SIGGRAPH 2024, where PRIME:
- organized a Bird-of-feather session on Predictive rendering
- presented 2 technical papers authored by ESRs
- showcased 2 posters prepared by ESRs
